GROUP DESCRIPTIONS

Pueblo Swim Club's mission is to provide an environment that allow individuals to have fun, work hard, achieve swimming goals, and develop important life skills to help them succeed throughout life.  With this purpose in mind, we place swimmers with a training group that not only matches their ability level but also allows them to interact with other swimmers with similar levels of commitment, physical and emotional maturity.  We currently hold practices at The Sam Jones  Aquatic Center, located at CSU Pueblo.
